they have a pistol and trap range on base, not sure what the times and regs are though. You can get on CP with your arms and ammo, no problem.

ok what is a cp and who do i have to talk to about getting one? i have been on the base my friend used to live in wire mountain 2. thanks

They have a bunch of different ranges on Camp Pen. Do you live in SD?

[karl9422]

yes i do live in san diego

CP is Camp Pen. **** going to Camp Pen, if you live in SD just head up to Orozco. It's in Ramona. It is an awesome place to shoot. It is just a mountain and you can shoot at what you want, with what you want. An old Navy buddy and I used to go there all the time. Granted I have not been there for about 7 years so I am not sure if you can still shoot there. If things have changed and it is closed you can always head out to Jacumba way the hell out the 8 and shoot out there as well.

CP is camp pendleton. If I remember correctly the range is still at 31 area. edson range, just ask the marine at the gate and follow his 'knife hand' commands

[karl9422]

ok so there is no need to even say anything to the gate gaurd about having it in my truck? thanks for the inputs though

[Ed.]

You do not "have" to tell him but you are supposed to. Why bother going up there to shoot? It is nothing special and more of a headache than it is worth.

[karl9422]

ok ed where is this Orozco?? any place i can look it up online?

[Ed.]

Take the 67 into Ramona (Main Street) make a left on the 78 (Pine St.) take that till it becomes W Haverford. You are getting close when it starts to head down hill and there is no more houses on either side of the road. There will be a dirt road on your left with a large tractor tire on each side of the gate, it is after the downhill flattens out. Take that road and head up the mountain. The place is huge and you can go all over the mountain. If you bring up Ramona on google maps and follow the roads I describe it is the large empty area near where Haverford becomes San Pasqual.
